The Office of Local Government is seeking feedback on the approvals process for mobile vendors to operate across multiple council areas.
Currently a range of businesses must seek separate approval from councils in each council area they wish to operate, as required under Section 68 of the Local Government Act 1993.
Mutual Recognition will allow certain mobile businesses to operate across multiple council areas by seeking approval once and having that approval recognised by other councils.
This new framework will be available to the following business types:
- food trucks
- buskers
- outdoor fitness, and
- market stalls
It may be rolled out to additional mobile business types in the future.
